Trump fought Anti-Semitism

To take the heat off Hillary Clinton, her staff concocted a weird tale that Trump retweeted something that looked sort of like a Star of David in. The only Anti-Semite in the race is Hillary, who called her husband's former campaign manager, Paul Fray, "f****** Jew bastard." (The link.)

While Queen Hillary was cursing Jewish people, Trump was standing up for them and black people as well.
To promote his book, "The First Family Detail: Secret Service Agents Reveal the Hidden Lives of the Presidents," last summer, author Ronald Kessler gave an interview to NewsMax.From NewsMax's account of the interview:

"When Donald opened his club in Palm Beach called Mara-a-Lago, he insisted on accepting Jews and blacks even though other clubs in Palm Beach to this day discriminate against blacks and Jews," Kessler says.

"The old guard in Palm Beach was outraged that Donald would accept blacks and Jews so that's the real Donald Trump that I know."

At the time, the other Palm Beach country clubs banned blacks and Jews.

The culture clash began to approach a climax last fall, when Mr. Trump’s lawyer sent members of the town council a copy of the film “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner,” a film that deals with upper-class racism. Mr. Trump then approached the town council about lifting the restrictions that had been placed on the club. He also asked some council members not to vote on the request because their membership in other clubs created a conflict of interest.

Last December, after the council refused to lift the restrictions, Mr. Trump filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Palm Beach, alleging that the town was discriminating against Mar-a-Lago, in part because it is open to Jews and African-Americans. The suit seeks $100 million in damages.

The story also said:

Mr. Foxman seems pleased that Mr. Trump has elevated the issue of discriminatory policies at social clubs. “He put the light on Palm Beach,” Mr. Foxman says. “Not on the beauty and the glitter, but on its seamier side of discrimination. It has an impact.”

In recent weeks, Mr. Foxman says, the league has received calls from Jewish residents telling of how Palm Beach clubs are changing. Locals concur that in the past year, organizations such as the Bath and Tennis Club have begun to admit Jewish patrons. The Palm Beach Civic Association, which for many years was believed to engage in discriminatory behavior, this month named a Jewish resident as its chief officer.

Obviously, Trump passed along his anti Anti-Semite to his children. His eldest daughter, Ivanka, met a Jewish man, converted, and they married. His son-in-law, Jared Kushner, is one of Trump's closest advisers.

My new book, "Trump the Press: Don Surber's take on how the pundits blew the 2016 Republican race," is now on sale.

Yeah, I see where Donald. in response to a question about defending Article I of the Constitution has told congressional Republicans: "Not only will I stand up for Article One," Trump enthusiastically stated, according to the member in the room. "I'll stand up for Article Two, Article 12, you name it."

There are only seven articles, Donald. Were you asleep in Civics class? The first three cover the government branches, Article IV is about the States and the last three cover, Supremacy of the Constitution, Amendments and Ratification.
